It’s a big one.

Today I’m announcing that next season, season 19, is going to be my last.

You’ve changed my life," she continued.

This show has been the greatest experience of my life, and I owe it all to you.

Thank you" (viaToday).

Ellen noted that she’d discussed her decision with her wife, actor Portia de Rossi.

Although the monologue is sad, always a comedian, the talk-show host managed to make it funny.

“I talked to Portia.

I talked to myself.

“The point is, I need to take a break from talking.”

She also vowed that her 19th season would be fantastic (viaTMZ).
